Commentary & Analysis

by

L. A. Marzulli

While the news of the day heralds the release of George Zimmerman, the clock is ticking. While the media tells us of yet another alleged, anti-semitic remark from Mel Gibson, the clock is ticking. While the actions of a few secret service men become national news, and men who allegedly hooked up with prostitutes are publicly eviscerated, the clock is ticking. While the Fox News web site is informing me of vital information, what Buddy Holly and other “stars” who are deceased would like if they were alive now, the clock is ticking. How old would they be now? | Fox News

I think you get the point. Our media is in the business of distraction and obfuscation with a side order of endless bread and circus for everyone, and while they are engaged in that, the clock is ticking. What clock you ask? The prophetic time piece of the God who has is not dead, knows the beginning from the end, has not abdicated His throne, and because he resides outside of time and space as we know it, calls out a priori, with great specificity, events that will happen in the future, His word will come to pass!

More people know more about Nostradamus, the Mayan 2012 end-of-the-world prophecy, and the latest meter readings on Ghost Busters, than they do about Ezekiel 38, Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17. There are those who do not see any significance with the Jews being gathered back into their ancient homeland of Israel and that position, in my opinion, is a faulty one, as most end-time prophecy deals with the Jewish people. Jerusalem has become a stumbling block for all the nations, just like prophecy tells us she will be in the last days. The Middle East is set to explode and when it does all eyes will be on Israel, again, like prophecy tells us it will be in these last days. We see the nascent beginnings of a one world government. Weather patterns are bizarre – see In Other News for stories – fish and animal deaths continue, volcanoes threaten a nuclear winter, Fukishima is not a done deal, North Korea is once again threatening to destroy South Korea, The Ring Of Fire keeps putting out 7.0 and bigger earthquakes, and war and rumors of war are pretty much everywhere. Oh, I forgot to mention the soon to be revealing of the so-called extraterrestrial presence.

In closing todays post: We are truly in tenuous times, wrought with uncertainty. We can immerse ourselves in the news of the day, shop at COSCO on the weekend, and stuff our refrigerators with food and think that, it can’t happen here. However, the clock is ticking and in my opinion the signs are all around us. We are in the birth pains that Jesus warned us would precede His return. The clock is ticking….

ACCELERATION RADIO – Live Thursday Night!

I am pleased to announce that I will be back on the radio with Acceleration Radio a week from today, Thursday – 7 to 9 pm (CST) We have had a steady stream of emails asking when the show would return and now, thanks to CJ and the staff at LBN, we are proud to be part of their line up.

I agree wit you 100% L.A.! I find it disheartening and puzzling at the same time when I make mention of the times we are in and how Biblical prophecies are coming to pass before our eyes to friends who are still in the world-how they scoff and roll their eyes.!? The media does the same thing. More worried about Branjolina’s engagement or the death of Dick Clark (rest his soul) but overlooking the grand picture. God’s perfect plan is coming to fruition and the world turns a blind eye to it. Satan is truly having his way with the world. I pray that I can get people to see the truth that is God’s Word and lead them to Christ in these last days. I get discouraged, but I will not give up.

Thank you for being a watchman in these times. I thank God for you and others who are exposing the Truth. God Bless. JG Milw. WI.

Last night i watched 60 minutes at my husbands request, Of course it was a blame game directed at Israel (What a shock) I I cant hardly watch the TV any longer, deceit followed by the circus then more deceit ! L.A. KEEP A FIRM HOLD ON THE TORCH, WE NEED HELP STAYING FOCUSED , YESHUA COMES SOON !

don’t watch TV! I have mine on mute and usually on educational (Ha!)or fox news because it is a little more honest (just a little) than the others but I have close captioning on and I play on here while listening to all the great Christian/Watchmen on internet radio!
Gotta admit that I like Grey’s Anatomy, House and a couple of others but I DVR so I can watch later and fast forward through the commercials and gratuitous sex scenes.

I’ve already put my TV on Dish hold for the summer…six months of nothing but China Biz TV, a couple Christian networks, shopping networks, etc…but only $5/month. It’s great! If I feel like vegging out, I can put in a movie or watch things I’ve recorded previously on DVR. But for the most part, I’m outside all summer anyway.

I just learned today that my dad is going on Hospice Care…Acute Renal Failure. That’s a tough one for me since my dad really only taught me two things. 1)to hate him, and 2) to hate myself. He was my first abuser. That’s probably what it is Elaine…took the Lord all these years to bring me to the point that I could forgive him, but also to understand that just because I forgave him doesn’t mean I have to like him. And also to be able to understand that it’s okay for me to like myself. Those deep seated angry and bitter feelings take a long time to heal.

I should go see him before he passes…I was going to go on his birthday, March 2nd, but got snowed in. It just seems like something holds me back from going to visit him. He was a freemason–33rd degree–inducted into the Noble Order of the Mystic Shrine. I don’t think he’s renounced it. He would never let me talk to him about Jesus or receive any gifts from me that had to do with Christianity. Well, maybe that’s why I feel prevented from going to see him. I was taking my mother to see him for awhile but then my sister took over and I haven’t seen him for about a year. I think it really turned me off one day when I went to see him in the hospital and he was more interested in the young female nurses messing with his catheter than he was in my visiting him…that’s really when my heart turned to stone toward him.

Oh Andrea….wish I could give you a hug. You have forgiven and you are praying for his soul. It is a hard thing but God will give you guidance. You should go to Trunews and listen to today’s show in the archives and click on the William O’Hare site too……he managed to become a strong Christian and his mom was one of the most evil in the history of our country by his own words!
He seems very peaceful now. Might help you.

**heart breaking** at lost innocence and lost time. It’s the spirit of God that gives you the heart to forgive. There is extreme power in that forgiveness for your healing, and if the spirit convicts your father in time, a change of heart for him. But that is between him and God. You have done your part. Bless you and you are in my prayers.

I wonder how much longer the clock will tick. And, is the clock you’re watching ticking down to the rapture or to a time when utter chaos hits the earth. Couldn’t it be both at the same time?

Has anyone ever thought that the rapture could be similar to an EMP? Really, how much and what kind of power will it take to resurrect millions of people and grab the living Christians as well. When Jesus rose from the dead many other saints in the area came up with him.

You know. sometimes when a thief in the night comes to your house he cuts off the power and you hear no alarm and wake up to missing valuables and no lights.

Just a thought. People speak all the time about “the rapture” but I wonder exactly what else is involved, power wise.

“Earthquake Resurrection” by David W. Lowe deals with this issue i.e tremendous power being released when a mortal body becomes immortal. The Gilberts of PID radio fame did a podcast with David Lowe on 18th May 2008.

The idea is that at the Rapture so much power is released during the transformation that the entire Earth will be severely shaken.

Considering that Satan’s bagful of tricks almost parallels whatever Jesus will do, that same EMP scenario could work for the dark side’s purposes too.
Add that thought to one proposed yesterday about the counterfeit “desolation of abominations” taking place in the temple God created–namely, our body, the place where the Holy Spirit resides–possibly involving a DNA transfer/mutation via Satan’s minions, and you’ve got one gigantic confusing (meaning “deception”) picture.
Satan is 1000X smarter than our imaginations can even conceive!

Just guessing about what will happen at the rapture. But, I’m like you. I can just see satan taking advantage of the situation. If an EMP effect or worse happens it will be worldwide as there are Christians in every nation.

Imagine: For a time darkness (darkened cities) covering the face of the earth. Can’t you just see the panic as loved ones are gone, martial law quickly takes over, fallen angels are moving in fast. And who knows what kind of a mess we may already be in when Jesus does come for us. I would not want to be left behind.

To Ghillie,

Tomorrow when I have more time I will try to find the information you told me about. I would like to hear David Lowes thoughts on that. I’m not familiar with him or the Gilberts. Thanks!

Isn’t is amazing how we can read God’s word and then go back and read the same thing again and see something new?

About the question concerning LA. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard him comment on what happens at the rapture. God did say “behold I show you a mystery”. Maybe we won’t really know until it happens. I once read where the late JR Church thought that we might be caught up at the time of a nuclear event, which would add to the chaos. I tend to agree with him because of a couple of experiences that have happened to me. Time will tell.

It sure is!!!!! I did a quick search on it and found one guy who said it was at the death of Christ when the veil was rent and the earth quaked and not at his ressurection…..and that the grave yard is on the hill and it meant the graves opened and the corpses rolled out and into the town……hmmmm, I have studying to do! I just think that other’s being ressurected diminishes Christ’s…..wouldn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t all those dead people have worshippers? Christ is supposed to be Christ because He is the only one to come back from the dead.

Here you go Debbie…this is a link to the “Gllbert’s” as mentioned by Ghilliy
“http://vftb.net/”
Derek’s show is called “A View from the Bunker”, there is also another show hosted by both Derek and his wife Sharron called “P.I.D Radio”.Here’s a link to that.. “http://www.pidradio.com/”

Elaine , I believe the verses 52 and 53 of Matthew says that ” and the tombs were opened,and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep arose, and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection,they went into the holy city and appeared to many”. Sounds like a resurrection to me not rolling corpses. Lazarus came back from the dead. Jesus raised a child from death. Some say those who rose when Jesus died were in their resurrection bodies. I’d like to write more but I have to go to work now.

1 Kings 17
20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. 22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

2 Kings 13
20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Matthew 10
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give

Acts 9
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
[…]
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

Acts 20
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

Elaine….The earthquake definitely took place at the death of Jesus. I just saw your comment and was about to mention Lazarus and saw that Ghillie did it for me. Those rolling corpses are pretty far fetched. I believe Matthew makes it very clear that other saints (keyword being saints) were resurrected also. Verse 27:52 says “and many bodies of the saints which slept arose”. If dead bodies would have just went rolling into town there would have been bodies of saints and sinners. Besides, only saints “appeared” unto them.

I don’t think that diminishes at all from Jesus resurrection. It shows me a picture of things to come. The resurrection of all saints.

Lexicon definition of appeared as used in Matthew 27:53
1) to manifest, exhibit to view

Oh, sorry if you thought I was believing that one…..it was so far fetched that I put it here for humor.
I am still so surprised that I never noticed that verse. It just seems that history would have been full of stories about them!

Elaine, I vaguely recall someone putting forward the idea that the 144,000 of The Book Of Revelation are these saints who were brought back to life and that they ascended into Heaven with Jesus and will return to Earth before him.

Whoops! I have the book “Earthquake Resurrection” but haven’t read it yet. The above idea about the 144,000 comes from that book.

YIKES! I used to live right in that place (Rochester Hills) and my kids still live very close! That is scary. I am going to have my son look around down there. I wonder if boron or even baking soda on the ground or mixed in the garden soil would help.

“Oh, I forgot to mention the soon to be revealing of the so-called extraterrestrial presence.”

i was on derek gilbert’s “view from the bunker” site checking out the latest show about a little known ufo crash in new mexico in 1948. the show notes say the modern ufo era began in the late 40’s. i agree with that. so i began thinking hmmmm, this is right around the time israel was to become a nation in 1948. i believe the fallen ones were trying to manifest with the space brother delusion but God countermoved with the establishment of israel. if the alien agenda was sucsessful God may have been removed in a big way from human preception and many more perhaps all would be lost. shows the perfection of God’s timing in this “cosmic chess match”(seems i heard that before :-)……check!

as an interesting aside abraham(the father of israel) was born in 1948am (anno mundi hebrew for post creation) thank you ken johson author of “ancient post-flood history.”

I believe the birth pains are speeding up now. Ever since 2012 began amazingly enough. Also one of the signs of the times is the apostasy in the church as spoke of in 2 Timothy 3:1-9. I posted my first blog in that series I am doing today. I was going to post it yesterday but Google and all google powered servers was having brown outs here in Montana yesterday with my internet service provider. I don’t believe it was on the other providers. I always multitask and when I would pull up google my computer would freeze. It was the weirdest thing. The news agencies cannot be trusted at all. No useful news is ever on the tv. If they told the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. Our nation would panic and set back the plans of the devil infested new world order for another 80 years like Hitler did. Remember they originally wanted their world to be completed by 1984, the year I was born. (My son is going to be born in 2012, so cool)

Back to what I was saying and finishing this up. When Hitler rose to power he was going to be the hero of the NWO and help accomplish their 1984 deadline. Then he went nuts and started attacking England. That is when the NWO decided he could not be trusted and needed to be taken out. Hitler was being backed by the elite, including the US and UK until that point. By that time Hitler was so powerful and stir crazy it was not a simple matter of putting a cap in his rear end. World War 2 began and he was vilified because he betrayed them. That is why people are more likely to Remember Hitler than any other dictator. Rarely does Mao Tse Tung the deadliest dictator ever get mentioned. He founded modern Communist China, his system of government is still in place and he murdered more people than Hitler and Stalin combined. Imagine if they vilified him in history class or in the movies the way the do Hitler. It would destroy America’s economic relationship with China. He was a good boy to the elite and he helped accomplish their goals to the end of his days and then China is blessed by owning most of the worlds wealth.

LA MARZULLI!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT! AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!! ITS WHAT YOUVE BEEN SAYING BUT A NEW INFO!!! AND PROOF! go to youtube and check out TheJonathankleck youtube channel and watch the mystery babylon series! please LA, I know you are busy but you have got to check this out, everyone else too!

Ahhh… It’s nice to have the luxury of a regular computer and high speed cable. When I’m in gizmo mode, I’m much more telegraphic and cryptic, true enough. If LA let us post photos and links, then I’d provide more visuals. If we have to drop to morse code and keywords, I can do that too. Not many folks actually follow links and references, so sometimes it’s best to put information there, for those that can feed themselves.

The theme today and in general is that time is running out (“the clock is ticking.”) But it takes the intensity of a Jack Bauer “24” TV action drama to at least catch folks attention. The computer gamers probably need a lot more than that. For paramedics, ER nurses, combat soldiers, emergency responders, or even moms with plenty of children, it probably takes real world issues to get their attention. I’ve no doubt the our Good Lord Jesus, with best designs, will provide the world with increasingly more that gets their attention — as time runs out.

Good ole, Bob Neumann, aka “old dog” (as in “Caleb” cp. Joshua, as in dog soldier, as in faithful companion) wrote technicolor prophecies for quite a long time.

Here’s an excerpt from one of his visions, which I linked above. It’s about the apostate churches losing their cover.

Quietly I began to hear a melody and I began to walk as THE HOLY ONE nudged me toward the source of the music. As I got closer it became both louder and I began to recognize snatches of tunes. As I recognized the source of the discordinate [cp. discordant] music I recognized the melody as a “march” I had heard as a child. And the “instrument” as a steam calliope. Like some marches….this one by Straus…THE RADITZKY March was one danced to more than marched to. Only there was no one marching or dancing. The “music” filled the air just as the “haze” filled the air. to fill in blank areas….

Suddenly I was aware of being in a great circus tent. The haze had prevented me from seeing the top or the far walls. But now I began to see and hear most clearly. The covering was not that high and to either side the walls were much closer than I had thought. In the center was the classic ring and simple bleachers were on either side. The kind you put up and tear down as you travel.

As I approached the ring I noticed the lights dim and the music picked up as I prepared to see “the show” begin.

With a fan fare that reminded me of a certain other arena two performers came into the center of the ring arms raised to the anticipated “applause” of the crowd. One was male, the other female.

The male wore a tight fitting suit like costume in bright blue with sequins. His hair sculptured and lifted into a pompadour. The makeup he wore under the lights hid both age and the signs of consumptive disease. The female wore a flesh tone body suit with stiletto heals and a similar blue and sequenced bodice that was both tight and attempting to be alluring. Like her counterpart the built up hair and heavy makeup were as much illusion as possibly camouflage, to create an image presentable. An image in one part seducing at the same time acceptable and anticipated.

Like all “good” theater the moves and dialog were scripted in advance and performed with exaggeration precision. On queue the act appeared and took it’s prescribed position within the ring. First came the trained shetland ponies followed by the dogs of variable sizes, breeds, and ages. Like a precision instrument the act ran smoothly as each animal exhibited the trick it learned in the proper sequence. Each trick planned and orchestrated for optimum effect. as the human performers played to the crowd and feigned the required emotions for each trick the episodes of “surprise”, “humor”, and even “anger” were performed on queue.

As trick followed trick, each task appeared to be harder and less certain, yet even the “mistakes” were orchestrated. And like all good theater the act ended. And like theater was created to be the act was repeated over and over.

Then without warning I heard THE WIND blow within the tent as the act played on. And as the THUNDER roared forth I saw the tent shake and tear loose from it’s stakes. As the sides came free the fabric shredded and dissolved as the lightening illuminated the grounds and the rain came down in torrents flooding the “ring” and washing away the dust and debris. In the illumination of the PURE LIGHT and the cleansing of this LATTER RAIN the performers were washed down and what was hidden under the “hair” and “make-up” was exposed for all to see.

What was a man and woman and their performing dogs and ponies was two Great Princes of Darkness and many assorted demons and foul spirits.

So not only do we have a similar message from another watchman, about the circus acts that distract, in the media and in the so called churches, there’s also a prophecy that the Good Lord has provided a way to expose the acts during the end-time ramp-up to the Millennial Kingdom, which bowls over old Nebuchanezzer’s idol of metals and clay (world empires). Bob always did have a knack for technicolor. I wrote him once that he’d learned the “tongues of dragons” since he usually made some sort of reference to popular movies or other entertainments. I’m not so sure we need to be fluent in the language and memes of the worldly (and their masters) to actually communicate with them. What we want is for the lost to hear us, and come out from them. And our Good Shepherd’s lost sheep will hear His voice — His Word will not return to him void. Can’t say the same for seeding popular media references. But then again, stranger things have happened. And The Word is certainly Master of all communication in all it’s variation, even that that travels across generations and above the noisy machinations of rebel factions.

(Ahem! Poetry is of course another way to get a high bandwidth messages through narrow data channels, time and talent permitting. ;-))

Back to the count down. (tick tock)

You (Elaine) pointed to the Time’s Square Ball the other day. So I did a bit of digging wondering where the observances of dropping “stuff” at new years came from. All of this of course has the undercurrent of a celebration of saturn = kronos = satan = the dragon. The funny thing is that it’s his time that is very quickly running out. (tick, tick, tick) And soon, an angel will be sent to lock him up in the bottomless pit for 1000 years. (tick … tick …………) The old time lord — like so many of his horde — would probably do about anything to distract themselves from their impending doooooms.

Which brings me back to Adolph S. Ochs, who was the 2nd owner of the New York Times, and instituted the spectacle of the time’s square new years ball drop in 1907. Who was also clearly a puppet of the enemy all along. From his eulogy in the NYT, “http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0312.html”

Adolph S. Ochs quoted by the NYT:
“What we as a religious people have preserved through centuries of oppression is rapidly becoming the accepted concept of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. It is called Modernism, but it harks back to the underlying faith of an ancient people, who gave to civilization the Ten Commandments, the prophets and the Psalms.”

It was in keeping with his conception of his faith and of his people’s place in history that he was opposed to Zionism.

It’s no surprise that no less vaunted icon of “the times” or icon of “the age” than the New York Times itself would be so squarely involved in the works of hypocrisy and two-faced subtlety that are the trademarks of the devil. (tick, tick, tick) (… my apologies to David Wilkerson)

But the Almighty, even the Ancient of Days, has devised a strategy for dealing with these last days. Those that read the references would do well to review the whole chapter in Isaiah 28. I’ll just give a few verses (for the “hear” a little, there a little crowd).

Isaiah 28
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

And for those that made it this far… (tick, tick, tick) …there are strange things going on with this time theme we’re on, with the sounds of a pipers’ cacophony in the background, trying to keep time… interrrrupted by the rumbles of distant thunder — at least to the worldly ear.

For those that have ears to hear…
SOS 6 (and Luke 10:20-24, Rev. 12 and 20)
4 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

okay, thanks! I never heard of Bob Neumann….or at least don’t remember the name. I will check him out.
You do such great research! As I read his vision I remembered a poem my dad taught me. I’m not sure who the author is:

Isn’t it queer,
That princes and kings
And clowns that cavort
In sawdust rings,
And simple folk,
Like you and me
Are builders of eternity.

To each is given a book of rules
A shapeless mass
And sack of tools.
And each must build
Ere life has flown
A stumbling block
Or stepping stone.

GOD BLESS I,M GLAD THERE ARE LIKE MINDED BRETHEREN OUT THERE. VOLCANOES EARTHQUAKES THE RING OF FIRE SUPER TORNADOES WEATER ECOMOMY DEMON CRAFT AND STARGATES THE LIST GOES ON!!!! OH FORGIVE ME LORD FOR NOT MENTIONING THE HORRENDOUS CHILD ABUSE HAPPENING WORLDWIDE . NOW I CAN SAY IN GODS NAME. THE LIST GOES ON. WHOSOEVER HAS NOT A HEART FOR THE FOREMENTIONED AND MORE ARE NOT THE CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD. THERE IS ONLY ONE REAL SOLUTION TO THESE MATTERS AND THAT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME LORD JESUS COME. QUICKLY.

Honestly, how many people do you know that actually crack open a books these days? Look at how many book stores and libraries that are closing and going under. Unfortunately, the mere mention of reading a book, particularly to the younger set, will cause you to receive the stink eye. It so passé, they will look at you like a dinosaur just for suggesting a book. . Let’s face it, it’s much easier to get your information spoon fed from TV shows like ghost hunters, searching for Bigfoot, and the all too numerous UFO shows where everyone seems to chasing their tail and grasping at straws. This is the dumb down of a nation, a slight of hand., If you are busy chasing UFO’s, ghost,bigfoot, or what your favorite celebrities had for dinner last night, this information will be happily supplied to you by the media, but the truth is always behind the curtain, but most are too comatose and spoon-fed to pull back the curtain to see what is really happening.

“Honestly, how many people do you know that actually crack open a books these days?”

One. Me! And it was an actual book too, hardcover. “Illusion”, by Frank Peretti. Good stuff. I’m half-way through and am having a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend his other books, my all-time favorite of his is “This Present Darkness.” I’ve read it twice so far. It is that good.

Anyway, I agree about the dumbing down of Americans. Looks like a managed agenda to me. I had lunch with a friend and he was teasing me about how I don’t watch television anymore. I asked him why he watches all that reality television garbage. His answer? He had none! And he got *really* ticked at me for asking him that.

I decided the only thing I can do is:

Pray for their salvation.

Speak the Truth and then get out of the way.

Plant seeds. Ask questions to get people to think. “What do you think about all these earthquakes happening all around the globe?”

It’s amazing how encounters with friends and family always go south when you, ever so gently, try to wake them up to what is going on right in front of them and the way to salvation. They are like zombies. Not so sure they are unaware, rather I suspect they don’t want to hear. I had sevearl UFO experiences in the 70’s. These days they don’t even seem real. Must be a way to not remember all of what happened. Maybe I suffer like my friends and family. But I put on my amor, no matter what my earthly mind is distracted with. God Bless All.

Ive gotten to where I dont even try anymore. Sad, huh? But I will talk about all the scary stuff coming and happening now and my last line is always the same. “I sure am glad I know Jesus! ” and thats it. If the Holy Spirit tells me to witness, then I do it. Unless I feel the leading from him, I dont say squat.
I will pray for anyone anytime. But my life is nothing anyone else would want, there is norhing that would impress these worldly people to desire what I have. I dint have money, clothes, housing, vehicles etc the things they care for. My home life is poor, cant see my grankids, estranged from ine daughter because im “crazy”enough to believe in the unseen, Jesus! The other daughter loves me but hates God. So much for their expensive private Christian schooling! The reason they both dont believe in Jesus due to their experiences in said school!
I usually dont get so down, but today im very low. Sometimes, you cant run the race, all you can do is stand. And Jesus has to hold us up!
Thanks for being there guys! I really appreciate the love here!

You’d have to be high to miss the fruit that’s come out of marijuana use: Cartels… human trafficking… illegals… money laundering… institutionalized slavery… bolstering the black market… santa muerte…. Mexico’s decriminalization of all drugs for personal use — including the most addicting… and of course demonic oppression if not worse…

No one has ever died from smoking marijuana? Check out NIDA, National Institute on Drug Abuse. “In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8 fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug”. NIDA talks about marijuana addiction and cancer caused by smoking marijuana.

So no one has ever caused a fatal car accident or committed a violent crime or any crime while under the influence of marijuana?

Hemp has industrial applications. So does petrol [from a natural product] and glue , but you won’t find me sniffing them to get a high. Lots of very natural cane toads in my area . You won’t find me licking them in some attempt to get high.

Christians smoking marijuana and claiming it’s OK. I put that in the same basket as so called Christians who curse and swear and drop F bombs and claim it’s OK . I’m not exactly a deep thinker but cursing Christians and marijuana smoking Christians set off very loud spiritual alarm bells and my alarm bells are pretty rusty.

I know it’s difficult, but as brothers and sisters in Christ, we have to give each other the grace to come to the knowledge of truth. If you put a muzzle on a dog that continuously is wanting to bite people’s legs, the muzzle prohibits the behavior, but not the desire. What God is looking for is not behavior management, but heart transformation, and because we are all different, having had different experiences, we all have stuff that God is working out in us.

Jesus said it was He that began a good work in us and it is He who will be faithful to complete it. I believe that, and many of our lives are living proof of it. I think we need to look at the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery. By legal standards she should have been stoned to death. But Jesus extended his grace and mercy to her and invited whoever was without sin to cast the first stone. All walked away, and Jesus said unto the woman, Where are your accusers? And then He lovingly said to her, And neither do I accuse you…go and sin no more.

Jesus longing is that we stop pointing people to their sin and start pointing them to their righteousness–Him. He is the Way, He is the Truth, and He is the Life. By focusing on our sin, we remain in our sin, but by focusing on Him, we
are lifted up to a place of understanding all our sin was paid for by His suffering and death. That is what brings about heart transformation. Our love for Him and the continual awareness of His sacrifice, in our place, is what will, in time, bring about a softness in our hearts toward others who are still growing.

Thank you to everyone who extended your kind words of comfort to me regarding the post I wrote concerning my dad. It really helps to know that you all are standing with me.

Oh Andrea, I’m so sorry. It is a continual battle sometimes isn’t it? Ive spent 50 years at least trying to figure out how to “honor” my mother like the Bible tells me too when our relationship is probably mych like yours with your dad. Ive never found a preacher who had the answer nor has the Holy Spirit shown me what to do. I too have forgiven at least 70 x 7.
But I do hold hope for you! You should see him if you possibly can stand it. Funny things happen to people when they are dying and a change of heart is a freqeunt one. Let him know that you know where he is going and it aint pretty andthat you forgive hum. Tell him you’re coming to say goodbye and if he wants Jesus, you will pray with him. If you let us know when you are going, we will pray for your meeting. And bind those bad boys too! I will pray for a change of heart for him and a healed heart for you! We love you and Jesus does too! Hang in there, we will be soon in a olace with no tears!
